Intraductal papilloma of the mammary glands is an intraductal papillary tumor that has developed in the milk duct. Intraductal papillomas are accompanied by the release of abundant milky, yellowish-green or brown secretions from the nipple. Diagnosis of intraductal papilloma of the mammary glands consists of ductography, mammography, ultrasound, cytological analysis of secretions. Treatment of the disease is operative; it consists of sectoral resection of the mammary gland.
Intraductal papillomas (papillary cystadenomas, cystadenopapillomas) are gland-like growths that develop from the epithelium of the mammary duct. They can develop at any age (from puberty to postmenopause). The incidence of cystadenopapillomas in mammology is 10% among all tumor-like diseases of the mammary glands.
Macroscopically, intraductal papilloma of the mammary glands resembles a gland-like, cystic formation. Papillomas are easily damaged, and the fluid released in this case falls into the excretory ducts and is excreted from the nipple. Bleeding and necrosis are possible in the tumor area; multiple intraductal papillomas of the mammary glands are more susceptible to malignancy of the neoplasm.
Although the risk of cancer of these benign tumors is low, in some cases they can be dangerous. For treatment, the papilloma is surgically removed. Early diagnosis and regular breast examinations are important for timely detection of the disease.
